Did you know food intolerance is very common? See table below:

Food IntolerancePrevalence
Dairy Intolerance
(includes Lactose intolerance)
~75% 3 in 4 people
Yeast sensitivity
(eg. Candida infections)
~33% 1 in 3 people
Gluten sensitivity
(inc. Celiac and Wheat intolerance)
~15% 1 in 7 people
Fructose or Sugar sensitivity ~35% 1 in 3 people
Food allergy ~1% 1 in 100 people


To narrow the possibilities, look in the Symptoms Matrix (must register first).

If you are one of the 75% of people who are affected by food intolerance, it makes sense to investigate - doesn't it? Untreated food intolerance is the cause of many serious Health Risks later in life.

There is only one failsafe and accurate way to identify food intolerance and that's by doing an Elimination Diet.

How to tell which is your food intolerance?

Once you have narrowed the possibilities using the Symptoms Matrix, the next logical step is to positively identify which of these foods is causing your symptoms.

The quickest and best way is to do the Detection Diet in The Tuesday Club for more information.
